A previously overlooked video of Angel Reese continuing to taunt Caitlin Clark after the 2023 NCAA Championship Game has resurfaced, causing a stir on social media.
The rivalry between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese became a global sensation when Reese famously taunted Clark in the final moments of the 2023 Women’s NCAA National Championship Game. Reese’s imitation of Clark’s “You Can’t See Me” gesture—originally popularized by wrestler John Cena—and her pointed ring finger taunt directed at Clark went viral immediately after it happened.

Reese later explained that she taunted Clark because she believed Clark had directed the “You Can’t See Me” gesture at Reese’s LSU team. However, Clark had actually been gesturing toward her own Iowa bench. Whether Reese misunderstood this in the heat of the moment or simply chose to ignore it remains unclear.
But the taunting didn’t stop on the court. During an Instagram Live video captured at LSU’s championship celebration just minutes after the game, Reese continued to mock Clark.
“What are y’all going to say now? Caitlin Clark…” Reese taunted before re-enacting the “You Can’t See Me” gesture once again. “I’m not the one to disrespect,” she added. “I disrespect around here.”
Reese even mimicked a shooting motion and turned to a teammate, saying, “She didn’t do this tonight, did she?”
This live video, which didn’t gain the same viral traction as the on-court exchange, went largely unnoticed—until it resurfaced on social media Friday morning. The video sparked renewed outrage among fans, with one commenting, “I HAD NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE. I’ll tell you what Angel won’t be able to see, and that’s a Rookie of The Year Award. She will see a BEATDOWN on the Barbie Court at the end of the month though, when the Fever play the Sky.”

The resurfaced clip has reignited the rivalry between Reese and Clark, drawing fresh commentary from fans who are seeing it for the first time.
“Funny after she lost to Caitlin this year, she cried in regard to what’s happening outside the court lmao to avoid the fact that she got beaten by Caitlin,” another fan remarked.
“Begging for notoriety. There are zero victims when lousy character gets addressed,” added another.
While Reese and Clark seem to have moved past their on-court beef, the tension between their fanbases appears far from resolved. The resurfaced video has only intensified the already heated rivalry, proving that for many, this battle is far from over.
